If you don't want to get your lenders in trouble, pick up a copy of Lend to Live in the BP bookstore for both of you to educate yourself on how to do it the proper way so that it's a true business transaction and not cutting corners just because you know each other personally. 

It is worth mentioning that my journey into real estate commenced without any formal education in the field; rather, I relied predominantly on extensive research and avidly consumed the invaluable insights shared through the Biggerpockets podcast.With each venture, my interest in real estate investment continues to grow, fostering a profound desire to acquire more properties.

While risks are inevitable, it's crucial to become comfortable with them by continuing to educate yourself on potential challenges.

EDUCATE YOURSELF - yes, it will take time, but will lead to a selection that better meets your expectations & avoids potentially costly surprises!

I have been listening to podcasts, webinars, and scrolling Zillow constantly to educate myself to be an asset to any future partners that I may end up doing deals with!

Educate yourself on the local market, network with other investors and agents, and always have a solid plan in place before making any investments.

I recommend you continue to rent and save while educating yourself on how to analyze property and buy a good investement.
